Note that there are two tabs to the page, standard and ad-vanced.4.10.1. Standard SettingsConfigure using DHCP or manually: If your network is DHCP-en-abled, as are most consumer networks, the 5big Network 2 will au-tomatically be assigned an IP address and other values. As a result,most users will see that the table has been filled in with values. Ifyou select Configure Manually, you will be able to modify the tablevalues.Load balancing or Fail over: If you have a second Ethernet connec-tion to your compliant router or hub, you can choose either Loadbalancing to improve Ethernet performance or fail over to ensurethat when one Ethernet link is broken physically or logically, thebackup connection will take over.Automatic port forward: If you want your 5big Network 2 to be ac-cessible via the internet for remote access, you need certain ports tobe open in your router to allow proper communication. Check thisbox to enable port forwarding, which uses UPnP-IGD/NAT-PMP toautomate port forwarding (if your router is compatible).TECHNICAL NOTE: The following ports need to be forwarded toensure proper communication: 21 (FTP) and 80 (HTTP).IMPORTANT INFO: If you activate automatic port forward, publicshares will become accessible (read/write) through FTP.continued on the next page >>Fig. 53
